Acting Central Highlands Mayor Gail Nixon says it is about time the Queensland Government held a community cabinet in Emerald, west of Rockhampton.

Queensland's Ministers, including Premier Campbell Newman, will meet local groups in Emerald on Sunday before holding a community cabinet meeting in the town on Monday morning.

Councillor Nixon says a visit to Emerald is overdue.

"It's about time actually," she said.

"This is a central position for the whole of Central Queensland.

"It's the hub of a great mining industry plus the agricultural industries we've got around here, and I just think it's great they can come out here.

"I think it should happen more often."

Councillor Nixon says there are many issues in the region that need attention from the State Government.

"We're talking to a lot of the Ministers about the drought situation and a lot of the cattle on our stock routes, also opening up national parks and getting some funding for improving our water supply," she said.

"Looking at the hospital for Blackwater, seeing if we can progress that a bit and flood mitigation is also high on that list, as are roads."
